Chapter 40: 040 Deep Sches
“`
Chen Xu estimated that the dartboard was about fifty centiters in diater. The area he needed to hit was less than one percent of its size, probably smaller than a bottle cap.
He aid briefly, then threw the dart in his hand.
Holding the phone, Dai Zixin’s heart was in her throat as she fild. She saw the dart with the red tail firmly embed itself in the triple scoring area of the twenty-point zone and excitedly shouted, “Hit it, hit it—”
After shouting a few tis, she rembered she was live streaming and pointed the cara at herself, “Did you see that? It hit.”
“The host’s cara is shaking so much I couldn’t see anything.”
...
“Doesn’t count, doesn’t count.”
“Right, couldn’t see it. Who knows if you stuck it in there by hand while we weren’t looking? Do it again.”
Soon, there was a flood of ssages, “Do it again…”
Dai Zixin argued, “He clearly hit it; I saw it with my own eyes.”
Chen Xu ca over to persuade her, “Forget it. Let’s do it again. Just fix the stand properly.”
After saying that, he noticed soone typing on the phone screen, “Still, Bouncy Brother is so kind…” His eye twitched. Why were people still calling him by that damned nickna?
“Today, I must leave a lasting impression on you.” He vowed inwardly, determined to shake off that nickna as soon as possible.
“He clearly hit it…” Dai Zixin muttered, repositioning the phone on the stand and adjusting the filming angle.
“We’re starting.” Chen Xu picked up another dart and threw it again.
At a distance of three ters, hitting a target the size of a bottle cap was a piece of cake for him. If it were a bouncy ball, he wouldn’t even need to aim—
Ugh, why did he think of that wretched bouncy ball again?
The dart landed firmly in the sa spot as the previous one.
“Hit again.” Dai Zixin jumped excitedly in front of the phone, “Did you see that? Did you see that? You can’t deny it now, can you?”
Imdiately, soone sent a gift, “Triple score of two points.”
Chen Xu retrieved the dart, aid, and threw it all in one go.
“Hit!” Dai Zixin cheered.
After that, more people sent gifts, and Chen Xu hit every single target with perfect accuracy.
Before long, Dai Zixin noticed no one was sending gifts anymore, but instead, there were screens full of exclamation marks.
“What happened?” She was a bit puzzled.
“The city is full of tricks indeed.”
“Hello, 110? Soone’s pretending to be a fool to snatch gifts here, utterly shaless.”
“Bouncy Brother’s dart skills are so-so, but his acting this ti, I must admit, is top-notch.”
“And the host, this ventriloquism act, is professional as hell.”
“Especially that questioning tone, truly exceptional. Host, doing live streams here is a waste of your talent; you should switch to acting.”
……
Those ssages were all teasing.
Dai Zixin was bewildered. Did they an she and Chen Xu were just performing for them here?
Was that the case?
At this mont, Chen Xu also ca over, watched for a while, and spoke, “Everyone seems unimpressed with my dart skills. How about I make it a bit more challenging?”
“Everyone sit tight, Bouncy Brother is about to show off again.”
“Waiting for Bouncy Brother to showcase his acting.”
“Indeed, nothing exciting about the darts. Keep refining your acting skills instead.”
Chen Xu saw a few such ssages and was at a loss for words. He felt he truly wasn’t suited for this live streaming business, and these people could really drive him mad.
He went over to ask the previous waitress, “Do you have a blindfold or a clean piece of cloth?”
The girl said, “Yes, I’ll get it for you.”
In a mont, she brought a black blindfold with cartoon eyes on it, “This one’s mine.”
“Thanks.”
Chen Xu took the blindfold, tried it on, then walked over to the phone and covered the cara with it. He said, “This is a completely opaque blindfold. You can take a look.”
After a few seconds, he removed the blindfold and said, “I’ll cover my eyes with it, still stand in the sa spot, and you call out a position. If I hit it, you send gifts. If I miss—”
He glanced at Dai Zixin beside him and said, “I’ll share Zixin’s WeChat, guaranteeing that every person who sent a gift can add her as a friend. How about that?”
“No way.”
Dai Zixin protested, “Why should my WeChat be shared if you miss?”
Chen Xu shrugged, “You said earlier that this is your stream.”
Dai Zixin was speechless.
“Aweso, I’m impressed by this brilliant plan.”
“This gift-taking trick is original. I’m awarding it.”
“There’s such a tactic, huh?”
On the screen, there was another wave of teasing, clearly indicating no one believed Chen Xu could hit the dart blindfolded. They thought he was just using it as an excuse. In reality, it was a ploy to use the host’s WeChat to lure people into sending gifts.
Anyway, Dai Zixin was undoubtedly a beauty. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t a loss.
Once a viewer pointed this out, the others caught on quickly and flooded a wave of comnts.
Chen Xu walked to the spot where he had thrown the dart before and said, “I’ll only attempt three shots, limited chances. If you’re interested, report the positions quickly.”
Dai Zixin quickly called out the positions from the first three people who sent gifts, “Triple score of nineteen points, triple score of one point, and the twenty-five-point zone.”
Chen Xu quickly located the first two positions, but where was the twenty-point zone?
Before he could ask, the waitress beside him said, “It’s the outer green ring around the very center bullseye.”
“Oh, thanks.”
Chen Xu etched those three positions in his mind, put on the blindfold, and picked up a dart.
By now, the commotion had drawn quite a few custors. Especially when they saw Chen Xu was about to put on the blindfold, curiosity got the better of them, and they gathered around.
Chen Xu held the dart with three fingers and, relying on mory, aid in his mind. Throughout the process, the people nearby were swept up in the atmosphere, becoming tense. No one made a sound.
“The first one, triple score of nineteen points.” Chen Xu announced the position and released the dart in his hand.
“Wow.”
The onlooking custors collectively gasped in amazent.
“Hit!” Dai Zixin’s voice trembled with imnse excitent.
At this point, Chen Xu picked up another dart. Instantly, the surroundings fell silent again.
“Triple score of one point.” He announced the position and took the shot again.
“Wow—”
This ti, the exclamation was even louder than before.
Not only were the custors amazed, but even those few girls from earlier were also stunned.
Dai Zixin covered her mouth, her eyes as wide as they could be.
And it didn’t stop there. Chen Xu once again picked up a dart and shouted, “Twenty-five-point zone.” Even before the words were out of his mouth, the dart in his hand turned into a flash of lightning, landing squarely in that green outer ring around the center.
Clap, clap, clap…
Everyone nearby applauded vigorously, celebrating his incredible performance.
On the phone, in the live stream room, it had beco eerily empty at so point, with not a single comnt.
After a few seconds, suddenly countless ssages flooded in, far surpassing any previous mont.
